What makes them special?
Men´s Alpine Tech Pants are our fully featured outdoor pants designed to handle rough conditions and all kinds of demanding adventures. They are stretchy and soft on the skin, yet durable and tough enough for any weather and activity.

How do they work?
Men´s Alpine Tech Pants are made with Spectrum Softshell, one of our toughest fabrics that expertly balances high weather protection without losing breathability or comfort. The open filament fibers on the inside of the fabric makes the garment perfect to wear both with a base layer or next to skin.

With two zippered hand pockets, two zippered thigh pockets (one of them with an elastic strap inside to hold your phone or attach your keys) there is plenty of room for everything you need to bring. Alpine Tech Pants have articulated knees for optimal freedom of movement and an adjustable bottom hem with an elastic cord for perfect fit over your boots. Two vent zippers on the outside thighs lets you easily control your body temperature. All pockets and cutlines on Alpine Tech Pants are designed to work with a harness and a backpack without interfering or chafing. An integrated, detachable belt in combination with belt loops lets you adjust the way in whichever way suits you best.

When should I use it?
Alpine Tech Pants are fully equipped and durable softshell pants designed to handle rough conditions and demanding activities. Use them for adventures in harsh alpine environments and they are ideal for hiking, trekking and mountaineering.

Dark colors may fade over time, depending on exposure to sunlight, number of washes and wear from use. This is completely normal with this kind of monomaterial stretch fabric.

The garment is completely recyclable and we kindly ask you to return it to us when it´s completely worn out. Nothing goes to waste and we can make new products from the raw material. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.

Care instructions:

Softshell

Softshell or single layer shells are garments with a water repellent surface, but without a membrane.

- Air clothes instead of washing to save water, energy and to make the garments last longer. Do make sure to wash your shell if it has been used in salt water or has gotten very sweaty or dirty as this weakens the performance of the garment. They can reduce the fabric´s breathability and damage the water repellent surface. The dirt can even allow for moisture to leak though the fabric.
- Use a washing bag to protect your garments and to prevent fibers from leaking. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe it clean and throw the lint in your trash can. Never rinse it in water since we don´t want the fibers to end up in lakes or oceans.
- Machine wash cold.
- Use mild environmentally certified detergents and make sure to use the right dose.
- Avoid fabric softener. Besides being harmful for our environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.
- Hang dry. Just remember to introduce heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water resistant surface of the outer fabric. Use a drying cabinet, dryer or iron. Make sure you monitor the heat so the garment does not melt.
- You can reapply or enforce the water repellent treatment with a wash-in or spray when needed. Always use an organic DWR: You can find both a spray and a wash-in in the webshop or in our stores.
